IT WAS 60 YEARS AGO TODAY, THAT THE BROOKLYN DODGERS WON THEIR ONLY CHAMPIONSHIP WHILE STILL IN BROOKLYN,
A POEM COMMEMORATING THIS SPECIAL EVENT, FOR MY DAD’S TEAM!
DOOK COULD HIT ‘EM FAR AND WIDE
SO COULD GIL, RIGHT BY HIS SIDE!
CAMPY CAUGHT BEHIND THE PLATE
JACKIE STOLE; IT WAS REALLY GREAT!
SKOONJ COULD THROW-OH WHAT A RIFLE!
OISK COULD HURL ‘EM-NOT A TRIFLE!
NEWK COULD HUM THAT MIGHTY PEA
CLEM COULD START, AS WELL AS RELIEVE
PEE WEE GOBBLED ‘EM UP AT SHORT
SANDY’S CATCH-A RALLY ABORT
THEIR TIME HAD COME IN ’55!
NEXT YEAR HAD COME-THEIR HOPES ALIVE!
